For clarity, this award is the one given out by the Confederation of African Football, not to be confused with the France Football and Afrique Football awards that ran in earlier years. You may notice a gap for 2020 and 2021, when no award was handed out due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Alongside the year, we’ve given you the club they represented at the time as your clue. But that’s all you’re getting. You’ve got 15 minutes.

If this gives you the taste for another quiz, why not have a go at naming the 30 highest-scoring African footballers in Premier League history?
